Shoulders-db laterals
Traps-db shrugs
Chest-incline db press
Back-pull ups
Bis-Chins
Tris-jm press
Abs-ab roller
Legs-db squats
Calves-standing calve raise
Forearms-wrist roller.

As you can see I’m bored as fuck.

Probably because you can't use as much weight as other leg exercises. I actually liked that exercise back when I started out.

Mechanically, does the Jefferson squat offer any advantage over just wide stance squats? It was as if Kai was doing "weird" excercises to make it seem like he was doing something novel? I remember he said he started all back workouts with dips which seemed weird to me but the other day I looked at a nautilus dip machine at the gym and I think it said it worked the lower traps?

Regarding pull ups for back, do you guys really do overhand pull ups instead of pulldowns? For me it's such a heavy exercise I feel like I can't do even a single rep the way I'd like to, the range is real short.

I find that exercise guyishly stupid or stupidly gay ,whichever is fitting better.But I’m sure Kai’s fan base are squeezing buttocks like crazy after seeing it from master himself and then someone else using same bar for bench  press and wondering wha’t that smell.

Shoulders-db laterals
Traps-db shrugs    Shoulder Press
Chest-incline Smith Machine if only 1 as can do regardless of stability and injuries
Back-pull ups Pull downs Pull ups are better but pulldowns allows lighter loads
Bis-Chins Dumbell CURLS This was a tough choice over EZ bar
Tris-jm press  Cable Presses If elbow is tweaked can still use cables
Abs-ab roller Leg Raises
Legs-db squats  Cycling wont put on mass but hits everything especially tendons and ligaments which need blood flow from volume
Calves-standing calve raise  Cycling again
Forearms-wrist roller. Dumbell wrist curls

As you can see I’m bored as fuck.
